This database was designed to bring together all the biographical notes produced both by the Centre’s researchers in the course of their research, and those discovered in the course of drawing up indexes of the Centre’s publications. It also aims to gather, as efficiently as possible, all information about any particular figure coming within the Centre’s areas of study.

The architecture of the database has been designed to facilitate various search options (geographical origins, functions, locations, affiliated institutions). Furthermore, hyperlinks in the notes can direct the user to iconographic documents, archives or online publications.
